African Affairs, the leading journal of African Studies, is delighted
to announce that Mr George Bob-Milliar has won the inaugural African
Author Award for his paper "Chieftaincy, Diaspora, and Development:
The Institution of Nkusuohene in Ghana" which appeared in the October
2009 issue of the journal. Mr Bob-Milliar is a PhD candidate at the
Institute of African Studies, University of Ghana.
The prize is awarded for the best article published in African Affairs
by an author based in an African institution, or an African PhD
student based in an overseas university, in recognition of excellent
African scholarship.
Prof. Ato Quayson, FGA , Director of the Centre for Diaspora and
Transnational Studies at University of Toronto, expressed his delight
in the award, saying, "This is a very timely article and the author
has done a tremendous job …an agenda-setting piece for the field of
Diaspora Studies." While Prof. Tom McCaskie of the University of
London noted 'George Bob-Milliar has written a prize-winning article
for the journal African Affairs. It is a model of its kind. I much
enjoyed it. I also learned from it.'
The runner-up is Dr Lephophotho Mashike, of South Africa, for his
article "Age of Despair: the Unintegrated Forces of South Africa" which
appeared in July 2008.
The editors of African Affairs and the Royal African Society would
like to take this opportunity to congratulate Mr Bob-Milliar and Dr
Mashike on their achievements. The articles are available for free
